(ANSA) - ROME, APR 16 - The Turin city council has approved a
regulation banning people from smoking within a five-metre
radius of another person outdoors, unless they specifically
consent to it.
Smoking in indoor public places in Italy is already banned.
"It's a sensible rule," said Turin Mayor Stefano Lo Russo.
"It's a question of respecting those who don't smoke and it's
also a way to promote a culture of reciprocal respect.
"Turin is not the first city to take an initiative of this kind
and I think others will too". (ANSA).
